Standard BNQ 9700-800 Prevention, Promotion and Organizational Practices Contributing to Health in the Workplace
Employee health is important to businesses, because it is associated with greater loyalty, increased productivity and significant savings, especially in terms of disability costs. With that in mind the BNQ has developed the BNQ 9700-800 standard, commonly known as « Healthy Enterprise. » This standard is for any business or organization, regardless of its type or size, or the product or service it provides. The standard provides guidance and sets out requirements regarding good organizational practices that foster healthy lifestyles among employees, a healthy workplace, and sustainable improvements in the health of individuals. The Healthy Enterprise standard is an initiative of Groupe entreprises en santé. It enables businesses, employees, unions, service providers and other players in the workplace to work together to create a healthier workplace.

Certification Offer
A well trained and motivated workforce composed of healthy, productive and innovative employees enables a business to grow and prosper in an increasingly competitive environment. The BNQ’s Healthy Enterprise certification highlights these qualities, enabling the business to build an enviable reputation.
Two certification levels are available to all types of businesses:
Healthy Enterprise: The business clearly demonstrates its commitment to the health and well-being of its employees in an organized, planned manner, according to the health issues and needs of its employees as determined through data collection, and according to the priorities of the business.
Healthy Enterprise — Elite: The actions and areas of activity involved are more numerous. Health and well-being are incorporated to a greater degree into the corporate culture and management processes.
In the certification program, businesses take action in the four areas of activity that are known to have a significant impact on employee health:
